Grand Caravan LX 3.3L V6
Bought this Grand Caravan used with 79k miles on it. At 85k miles, when first driving after parked for a few hours the steering would "bind" when turning left, as though there were no power steering. Dealer charged $1000 to replace the rack and power steering fluid filter, saying that the power steering fluid should have been flushed regularly...I don't buy that. The repair statement said that the power steering fluid filter was clogged and the rack was damaged...probably due to lack of fluid or lube. After reading other similar complaints on this web site I think Dodge has a design problem...beware...it's expensive to fix.
